ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT DOCUMENT SHREDDING AND HARD DRIVE DESTRUCTION IN CONCORD, CA

We charge $20 per cubic foot of paper to be shredded, which works out to approximately 70 cents per pound for comparison purposes. We do not weigh your paper; we measure it by volume.

MINIMUM CHARGE IS $1; WE MEASURE WHAT YOU HAVE AND CHARGE YOU ACCORDINGLY IN $1 INCREMENTS. 

 For non-paper material, such as photos, CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, and clothing, we charge $40 per cubic foot (approx. $1.40 per pound).

Mixed loads will be charged at a higher rate, so please keep paper and non-paper materials separate to minimize your cost.

HARD DRIVES ARE CRUSHED AND THE RATE IS $20 EACH.

Absolutely YES!!!

It takes about 2 minutes per cubic foot.

A cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches. If you measure your stack of paper (length x width x height in inches) and divide by 1728, your answer will be in cubic feet. Multiply that by the price per cubic foot, and you have the cost of shredding that stack. 

A standard banker's box is 15 x 12 x 10 inches (1800 cu. in.), and we treat that as one cubic foot.

That is no problem. We'll measure it and agree on a price per bag, box, and container of any size. One VERY IMPORTANT piece of advice: PLEASE DO NOT OVERFILL BAGS, BOXES, OR CONTAINERS! Only fill what you can EASILY lift in and out of your vehicle - life's too short for a bad back!

The best way is the way that is most convenient for you. We have found that using paper grocery bags (which most people have around the house) is a very easy way to transport paper. Depending on the size of the bag, shredding the contents usually costs between $10 and $14 per bag. If you already have your paper in a box or bag, just bring it in, and you can always take your boxes, bags, or containers back home if you like.
